Which of the following is a correct complete list of the four Gospel Books?

Gospel books are the four accounts that tell the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus, recognized as canonical in the New Testament. The four are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. That’s why the complete, correct list is these four names together. Acts is not a Gospel; it’s a separate historical account of the early church written by Luke as a continuation of his Gospel. Revelation is an apocalyptic prophecy, not a Gospel. So any option that adds Acts or Revelation isn’t naming the four Gospels. The traditional order used in most Bibles—Matthew, Mark, Luke, John—is why that sequence is considered the standard listing, even if the same four names could be rearranged.
